If he makes it clear he won't accept a trade I don't see why teams would claim him.

Would he be worth claiming just to block the Phillies?  Maybe.

I think so.  Why give the competition a chance to improve themselves.

Hypothetically, they could also just let him go for free if he's claimed. Not saying this would ever happen.

At the amount of salary he's owed, it wouldn't exactly be free.

If he's selected on waivers, the team that selects him assumes the contract.

And Adam can't reject going to the team that claims him via his 10/5 privileges?

Exactly

You own the team. If this is true would you put him on waivers and let another team claim him to save $7.2 million with no players being traded to us? The Orioles could use this as a negotiating tool with him telling him any team could claim him if they waive him.  He knows now supposedly Cleveland, San Francisco and Philly are the big three.  He can choose one of them at this time.

Like outright waivers, a player with a no-trade clause who is claimed must be pulled back if the player’s no-trade clause allows him to block a deal to the claiming club. However, the player may waive the no-trade clause and join the claiming club.

Disappointed with how his tenure ended and not getting back a prospect for him, but the fact they got anything for Brach with the year he's having is miraculous in and of itself.  More importantly, the fact it's international signing money, which the Orioles have time and again treated like Monopoly money trying to buy Baltic Avenue, is flat out astounding.  

I'll miss Brad Brach though.  Bad season or not, he was a major competitor out there and in a very small sample size, he was money in our last two postseason appearances when some guys were truly not.  Plus, the value they got for him over the course of five years for what they gave up for him was one of the best small moves this club has made in the last 25 years at least.

Brach just shut the door in the 8th with Braves up two.  He didn’t get much help after a single and ground out got double play ball hit to third which he botched it but got two more grounders to end it.

Sounds like Brad Brach.

Just wanted to feel comfortable again - I think he was a good pickup for the Braves as long as they don't have him close.

I saw a hilarious line in a Fangraphs chat today about the Brach trade:

”I was afraid that international slot money wouldn’t pass the physical.”

The slider looked filthy.
